Exceptional Experience! - This was an extraordinary travel experience and more for those with an adventurous spirit. Our guides Jorge and Dario were fantastic. Pickup was punctual and we entered Cotopaxi National Park through a rural route offering a local flavor. We saddled up for the horse ride which was an enjoyable outing for about an hour. Afterwards we headed up to our next stop for the hike up to base camp. It’s a challenging hike be sure you have acclimated to Quito altitude as this hike will put your lungs to the test. The vistas are spectacular and Cotopaxi is a sight to see up close. Making it to base camp was great and a nice notch on the hiking belt.

Quilotoa full day tour - What an amazing day! I learned a lot about the indigenous culture and the lands they farm on. It was so beautiful to see and I learned a lot! Quilotoa was incredible. Hiking down and up was pretty wild but it is totally worth the experience! My guide Adrian was super knowledgeable and so kind and caring! Loved talking to him and asking him all the questions. He helped make the day run smoothly and made it so fun! Thanks Adrian you are the best!

Exploring Quilotoa with Felipe, the Nature Expert - I had an amazing experience with Felipe as my guide at Quilotoa. His knowledge of the volcanoes and nature truly enhanced our visit. He was incredibly kind and supportive, encouraging us during the hike. Felipe also introduced me to a delicious snack called Chocho, which was a delightful surprise! Thanks to him, my trip was memorable and enjoyable. I highly recommend Felipe for anyone looking to explore the beauty of Ecuador.
